First Things First

Since this is my first blog, I think it only natural I should list some possible blogging topics:

• Is the ability to multi-task a benefit or hindrance?


• Why am I called MT?


• Why does my eye still twitch when the Ophthalmologist says I'm fine?


• Why do dogs eat rotten stuff?


• Is it really 'mind over matter'?


• Do I want to blog on politics?


• Should one vent about work in public?


• What other blogs do you have T?


• What's with that photo anyway?

As you can tell, my mind follows a natural train of thought. NOT. In fact, it is so far from orderly I amaze myself sometimes. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can multi-task like crazy, which I love. At times it's comical. I get a lot of stuff done in a day. I will jump from doing one thing to the next at home. A good day is when I actually finish all of the things I've started. Luckily I usually catch myself after starting around 4 or more things and make a conscientious effort to finish them all before heaping anything else on the task pile.

I do this at work too. I'll start the day jumping from one thing to the next on my computer. By the middle of the day I have 6 or more things open on my desktop. The trick here is to get them all handled in between meetings. Thankfully MS Office has tasks! I highly recommend using tasks if you too multi-task.

I wonder if this is boredom or ADD? I really like change and I don't have a problem concentrating when it's really necessary. So I will chalk this up to liking variety. As they say, variety is the spice of life!
